Were your ears ringing this morning...

Astrid, Oakland, NJ 1975

I've been excited about today for many weeks. Thank you Facebook for making reuniting with someone I've lost touch with so easy. We realized we had not seen each other since the summer after we graduated high school in 1975... we also worked together (with a great crew) at DQ! Do you know how much of our lives have changed in almost 35 years??? What I really treasure is the familiarity never skipped a beat. A few weeks ago while looking for some old photos I saw this one... and of course had to let her know, scan and send! It's a gem - the best was the writing on the back...it brought back more memories than of the photo itself. So today what did we do...talk...talk...talk - and if you were in our high school when we were...yes, we probably brought up your name as well. The best part of it is... we've both admired hearing from our classmates - it's nice to see everyone have mutual respect for others, even if we were not all best buddies in Indian Hills. My happy high school days have been on my mind since Astrid drove away - I've mentioned this before, and I try to live by this - make the effort to see people, it's so worth it...

About Me

OK.... I like to be around people that DO NOT COMPLAIN... and are positive! (A FINE TRAIT I'VE LEARNED FROM MY MOTHER) I like to always have something to look forward to.... I cherish times with my husband Phil and our son Gene...they are my life! I love to be with my sisters, mother, family and my friends are very important to me. I cherish staying in touch with people...I don't like to ever loose communication with anyone! I feel fortunate to love my work and career! I always want something "cooking". You'll always find a candle burning and music on in my house ~ and you are always welcomed here! I hate to clean my house...but want it clean! LOVE...LOVE our dog (Reilly)~ she's the best! People, not things make me happy.... and I love to be happy and be with people that make me laugh!

Favorite Humanitarians...

Bono..."The Church has its problems, but the older I get, the more comfort I find there"

Jimmy Carter..."We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles"

Audrey Hepburn..."For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone. Remember, if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms."

Robert Kennedy..."I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil".

Eleanor Roosevelt... "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"
